Hello Derrick, nice to meet you and welcome. Nice to hear you’ve written about local history, vital to any area in my opinion, and great to hear it from ’ The Horse’s mouth’, so to speak.

Hello Teddy, welcome to the forum
Teddy - your post gave me a giggle, I was always singing and dancing in the street, on buses - anywhere ! A couple of times I’d get on the bus and give a rendition of ‘Viva Las Vegas’ - Elvis another fav and when I saw the musical ‘Gypsy’ there was no stopping Pats - ‘Curtain up - light the lights !’ from start to finish 
Never got turfed off the bus tho’…ah those were the days…:-p
